I make an effort to not buy things produced in China. Case in point, I am in the market for a tennis racket. Well the ONLY and I mean ONLY racquet manufacturer that makes rackets out of China is Yonex which are made in Japan in their own factory. EVERY MODEL from EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER is made in China. Unbelievable. Other examples is that I try to purchase New Balance shoes made in the US and my dress shoes are all made in Italy or the US.
Is definately puts a ding on the pocket book but I feel better for it.
